Among the 3 billion base pairs of the human genome, there are∼ 30,000–40,000 protein- coding genes, but the function of at least half of them remains unknown. A new tool—short …

Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are the mediators of mRNA degradation in the process of RNA interference (RNAi). Here, we describe a human biochemical system that recapitulates …
Short interfering RNA (siRNA) is used in RNA interference technology to avoid non-target- related induction of type I interferon (IFN) typical for long double-stranded RNA. Here we …
